Would /his/ benefit from optional (yes, optional, not forced) flag geolocation with historical flags instead of modern flags?
>All countries that were part of the Soviet Union have a Soviet flag instead of their modern flag.
>Slovakia has a Czechoslovakia flag
>the US flag has 13 stars
>Australia's flag is the Aboriginal flag
Pic related is the template for flag gloss. To use it, shrink a flag to 16x11, put the gloss in a new layer and set it to Screen
This is what a Soviet flag would look like.
Every flag is "historical" and are mostly a modern invention for the revolutionary age.
In of these threads I piped up about wanting various symbols as options. (for /pol/) I don't care to advertise what country I'm posting from OR what country/flag I may like
But history isn't about dividing people up into our favourite period or region. It's about the facts and stories of the past. What symbol do we have for marxist historiography Annales school historiography? Nada.
So, no vote for me.
Flags that represent your area of expertise could be cool. Like a flag library that users could choose from with ancient civilizations as well.

Would be nice desu but only if they are selectable.
>>19102
Your explications about how to make a flag are unclear as fuck
>>19102
Nah, fuck that. It would turn into another /pol/ /int/ clone.

Ehh, some of those would piss people off. I don't think anyone from the Pacific Islands wants to remember that one time the Japanese overthrew half the oceanic nations, nor would the Poles particularly like being associated with the Soviets pr the Nazis again.
But what do I know, maybe no one would mind.
Hmm lets see

> would /his/ benefit
I see no benefit at all, sorry OP.
